You can cool an overheated horse or help keep your horses comfortable during hot weather by hosing them off with cool water.

🚿 If you have an unlimited water supply (e.g., hydrant), the quickest way to cool a hot horse is to continuously run cool water over the horse with a hose without stopping to scrape it off.

🧼💧 If you have a limited supply of water (e.g., when camping), most suggest applying the water, scraping it off, and then applying more water. In the absence of continuous water, scraping can help encourage evaporative cooling.

Focus water application to the head, back, neck, rump, and legs. You can apply ice water to high blood flow areas including the head, neck, back, and ribs (avoid applying ice water to the large gluteal muscles). A fully cooled horse will have cool water dripping off them rather than warm water.

If you study on this method of tying a horse, you’ll see that it has a few useful applications in real life.

‘Tying off’ at a distance from the horse can work anywhere from a fence line, to a manger or hitching rail, to in and outside the trailer.

It’s the best method I know of when I’ve a horse who unties himself, or otherwise chews his rope. They don’t seem to fuss with a rope much, once the knot and trailing end are out of the way, as Lyric proves here.

As a safety feature, we can also tie securely without those endless loops of chain-linking the tail end through, to thwart a rope eater. This way, we can make our quick release knot and leave it as is, so that it actually IS a quick release knot, should the need arise.

With a really long lead rope, I can tie off at the next ring inside the horse trailer, even outside the slant divider, if I’m not sure if a horse will pull back with me up near his head. It’s also a safer method when we’re tying any sort of horse to a post, if we think he’ll maybe pull back. Just remember, that when tying to a rail fence, we want to tie to the post, itself, and never to a rail that can pull off and cause injury.

Thought some of you might like to see how this works. I use tying off to the side quite a bit, as it keeps the knot away from the horse’s teeth… and me away from those front feet, if they’re at all questionable.

Lyric would like to point out that she is not at all a risk; she just got suckered into the modelling job! Cheers for now, Lee.
